Following sequential osteotomy, a 4x10 mm dummy implant is placed with stability and ~ 3.5 mm apical space (Fig.7 red line). A final implant (4x11.5 mm) is placed subcrestal (except buccal, Fig.8). With further placement of the implant, a 4.5x5.5(3) mm abutment and Vera graft are placed (Fig.9) prior to fabrication of an immediate provisional. There is no gross bone loss 4.5 months postop (Fig.10).
